Analyzing Scan
A detailed guide on how to analyze the scan results of your device using the Redamp.io console and mobile app, including categorization and specific details for Android and iOS.
You can view the results of your device scan on the Redamp.io console or on your mobile device. On your mobile device, you can only view the latest scan results with a basic evaluation. For more detailed information, use the Redamp.io console.
Every scan result is divided into four categories:
- Device - Security evaluation of your mobile platform (Operating System, device model, etc.) and OS settings (root status, screen lock, etc.)
- Network - Security evaluation of the network settings (WPA2/3, DNS, VPN, etc.) and traffic security (traffic filtering, firewall, etc.)
- Privacy - List of data breaches connected to the email addresses you've added
- Apps - Security evaluation of the apps you've installed or added
